When the lights went out during the SuperBowl, I flashed back to the 1989 World Series pitting the Oakland As with the San Francisco Giants.
Remember game 3?
Just moments before the game was scheduled to start, a major earthquake shook Candlestick Park.
The stadium suffered only minor damage, but elsewhere the area suffered billions of dollars of damage, and dozens of people were killed.
Commissioner of Baseball Fay Vincent immediately postponed Game 3, and delayed announcing when, where, and even if the Series would be resumed.
Finally, after consulting with public officials, Vincent scheduled Game 3 at Candlestick Park on October 27, 10 days after the earthquake.

Now, that was an untimely disaster.
The SuperDome’s power outage occurred after two electrifying performances: One by Beyonce; one by Jacoby Jones.
Jacoby electrified the place by opening the 2nd half with a 108 yard kick-off return for a TD.
Man, can that dude fly.
Nobody’s blaming Jacoby.
But, it seems that Beyonce has emerged as a person-of-interest.
